An Eye for Quality

Inspect and stamp. It makes sense to make a stamp of quality with a quality stamp. If your stamp of quality is not of quality what quality is the thing you are stamping? Can a quality stamp of quality improve the quality of what it stamps? There was a time that a stamp of quality stood for quality and then it became a logo and was stuck to everything, inspected or not. But a hallmark, now that is a guarantee. Made to a standard. What a comfort a hallmark is. But who can read them? And isn’t it the first thing a forger is going to fake? Is it not better to learn to judge quality for yourself? True, it takes more time, but it is so much more satisfying in the end.

 

Cabinets of Curiosity

We are curious makers of things, things we dream up ourselves. Remarkable, useful, beautiful and original things. Sometimes they are made entirely by hand, sometimes partly by machine, in the future perhaps by robots. May be not robots. Always with an eye for detail and with an element of fun.

If you care to follow this blog and join our journey, we’ll share our successes and (occasional) failures with you and hopefully you’ll become a frequent visitor. Suppose that depends on us keeping you entertained. So let’s get on with the words and pictures.

Work in progress
